Genius:
we used to think that you're either born with it or not. But today, we
learn that there's another route to become a mathematical genius - being
bonked in the head.

That's what happened to Jason Padgett, 41, a college dropout who became
a math genius after he suffered a brain trauma in a mugging:

Ten years ago, Padgett was only interested in two things: working
out and partying. One night he was walking out of a karaoke club in
Tacoma when he was brutally attacked by muggers who beat and kicked
him in the head repeatedly. Padgett said they were after his $99 leather
jacket.

“All I saw was a bright flash of light and the next thing
I knew I was on my knees on the ground and I thought, ‘I’m
gonna get killed,’” he said.

At the time, doctors said he had a concussion, but within a day
or two, Padgett began to notice something remarkable. This college dropout
who couldn’t draw became obsessed with drawing intricate diagrams,
but didn’t know what they were.
